Gestures of Comfort
In the comfort of the domestic space, everyday life goes by as days elapse in simplicity. Self-care settles as a routine of meticulously calculated movements. Careful grooming and affectionate caresses, evoking self-pleasure, mingle in intimate sceneries. The experience of the banal and ennui translate into daydreaming and self-reflection. Subjects are absentminded, indulging in fantasies. Works depict moments of vulnerability, innocence and contemplation. Viewers stand as witnesses of those personal moments, unexpectedly becoming voyeurs.
The exhibition brings together works that were overly cared for, with perhaps oppressive tenderness. Hands have smoothed, brushed, twisted, pinched, squeezed and sculpted the works. Fingerprints and handprints have left their mark. Gestures of Comfort is an invitation to be touched by the sensuality of both the object and the subject – summoning empathy and attention.
